Perfect Eduard 109 Gustav many Questions...Help required

Hallo

 

I want to ask you all, about help for building a perfect Eduard 109 Gustav. The Gustav 6 version I have Brasin cockpit, Engine and weapons and wheels too.

 

8268 Kit number                                       https://www.eduard.com/out/media/8268.pdf

648 140 Brasin Cockpit                             https://www.eduard.com/out/media/648140.pdf

648 141 Brasin Engine & Guns                 https://www.eduard.com/out/media/648141.pdf

648 148 Brasin Gun pods                         https://www.eduard.com/out/media/648148.pdf

648 149 Brasin wheels                              https://www.eduard.com/out/media/648149.pdf  

 

This is basically all I have.

Which marking is absolutly secondary now.

The first question is, does anybody have any experience how to install this brasin equipment in the plastic fuselage.

How much to grind?

I had several times brasin equipment, but noticed a horrible fit or unfit to install anyway.

Now, before I loose in vain any sweat, any blood and any tears I ask the community.

You understand it, the perfect Gustav I want to create!

Thanks in forward for reply.

 

Happy modelling

Well if you are after "The perfect Eduard 109 Gustav" you are starting off with the wrong kit. Kit number 8268 was the original release from Eduard which was all wrong, fuselage dimensions wrong, wings too long, main undercarriage legs too long and the list goes on. It is a very pleasant build for anyone that isn't worried about the many inaccuracies but that doesn't appear to be what you are after.

A good starting point would be 82111 and onwards. This is the G-6/AS kit number 82163

I heard the Fw190 was all wrong, and they retooled that fw190 completely.  I did not know the Bf109 was messed up...  Can you guys confirm and I will need to compare these sprues because I have most if not all of these kits.

 

ok, I see it on scale mates they changed tooling of the 109's from the 82111 onwards.  I don't have any of the early 2014 bf109 kits that were flawed...  whew!

The initial G-6 released circa 2014(?) is overscale and look weird if sat next to a 1/48 Gustav. 

 

The re-tooled kits herald from 2016 onwards, and the only niggle is the oversized (height) exhaust stacks. Apart from that they are a joy to build  - I'm currently on No 17!

 

cheers,

Chris

About 190 I have kits with engine complete in plastic. I have no idea if this are good ones.

Happy modelling 

the 'good' 190 kits do not have engine in them...
